Muy buenas pupusas, pan con pollo, empanadas de leche, coctel de camarón y el pan dulce son unas de las cosas que probé por primera vez y están muy bien hechos. Kelvin es el señor que atiende y es muy amigable y atento, muy buen servicio. El ambiente es muy acogedor y tranquilo

Always the best pupusas and desayuno tipico in the antelope valley fresh fresh and always with a great taste.

Ordered over the phone and food was ready for pick up but it was also very hot and fresh. I ordered sopa de res (beef stew) and it was quite a generous portion, enough for 3 people. The bowl with the soup was separate from a plate that comes with the rest of the stew ingredients (beef, rice, corn, cabbage). The stew and beef were well seasoned it needed nothing added. Friendly service.

I was in the area and wanted to try their pupusas because of the great review here at yelp. Unfortunately, I was not able to so. It seems that none of the servers want to serve me because I don't speak Spanish. Two servers in different occasion said for me to wait. I waited but no one came out after nor offered me a menu so I had to leave. I was the only customer that time btw. I will not spend a dime in a place that I don't feel welcome. For this experience, I would not recommended this place.

Platonos fritos, beans, sour cream, cheese, huevos rancheros and chorizo con huevo. ( tortillas made by hand!

We placed an order over the phone. We had high hopes...and they didn't disappoint. My husband had the yucca frita with chicharrón- crispy and the meat was delicious. Of course the sauce and curtido were also great. I had pupusas revueltas and an order of empanadas. They are authentic and my husband let me know the service was nice. We will be ordering again. read more

This is probably one of the best places to go in Lancaster if you want authentic Salvadoran food. Everything on the menu is made with excellence and authentic flavors abound. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant decor is very basic folding tables and chairs, but there is a very friendly atmosphere. Excellent Salvadoran restaurant you won't regret going to this place. read more

This place is located in a little of an sketchy area, but the best food are the hole in the walls. This is a small owned business and they focus on the food.

Came across this spot , was recommend by a local in the area I had met earlier in the day ( that was last week ) I wanted authentic Salvadoran food and she told me to try this place . Let's start by saying the place is small but yes busy and there is a wait for when after you place your order , be prepared to wait a good 20 min or so for the food but it is worth the wait . Everything is cooked fresh and it's horchata ( authentic Salvadoran ) was one of the best I've had the pupusas where delicious the right size and amount , we ordered a couple of panes con pollo which hands down they are almost as good as my moms and that says a lot. We also ordered the sopa de pata ( it's a soup ) it was so delicious the portion was shareable . We tried the empanadas de plátano with the cream custard that was so delicious we also got a couple of pieces of they're sweet bread and was not disappointed. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars was because it's small inside that's the only reason they deserve 10 stars for taste and freshness and in authentic dishes and costumer service gets 10 stars across as well they are super nice and attentive to all the customers. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the Antelope Valley but it's worth the drive , this place is in Lancaster but it's so good I'm definitely making this restaurant/ bakery a regular spot read more

Just don't eat here!…read more We originally wanted to go to the Peruvian place around the corner but they had a "B" health grade so we passed on that. There was a couple tables seated inside this resident so we said "why not, let La try something new". First off they don't have a restroom or it wasn't operational or the Linda at the counter didn't feel like being helpful. We just wanted to wash our hands prior to eating. We ordered the pupusas special on their menu which is 2 pupusas for like $5.69 or something close to that, and one additional cheese and jalapeno one. When she brought the condiments to our table she spilled them which was no biggie. I offed to just wipe it myself. Our food came and we got 4 pupusas. No big deal we weren't gunna complain. Food was below subpar, no flavor and the masa had an off putting smell. As far as the food goes I would NEVER come back here, now would I recommend this place. I wanted to put the tomato based sauce on my pupusas but it was crusty and and when I opened it there was mold growing in the lid. Unfortunately I didn't see this till after we left. We went to pay our bill as she assumed and up charged us for bigger pupusas than what I had pointed to on the menu. When I asked her about it, she said that she assumed that's what we wanted. I let her know that I wanted what we had pointed at in the menu. When I asked her to refund us the difference she said she couldn't because the manager wasn't there and if I wanted to come back. All of this with a very entitled attitude. If there were zero stars, I would rate them that. Incredibly unhappy with my experience here and I'm shocked they're still in business.

The first time I came here, I was a happy accident and I had no idea what to expect. The owner was so sweet and helpful, guiding us through the menu and even giving us a pupusa to try since we were stuck between flavors. His kindness and the tasty yucca fritta stayed with me over the years. It's been a couple years, but on a recent trip through the area I decided to come back! The small shop is a quaint no frills location (fyi no public bathroom), just as I remembered it. I changed up my order this time around, opting for the seafood soup, shrimp cocktail, Salvadoran horchata, and a custom grilled chicken plate with the yucca fritta of course. The owner was so accommodating and guided us through the menu like last time. The food was tasty, simple, and light. You gotta get the yucca fritta, it hits every time.

What is worse is that the pupusas has a resemblance of dollar pancakes in size and the tamales were little as well on top of that the worst part is that the food has no taste whatsoever, it is bland to the max, a Jewish matzo has more flavor than the pupusas and the tamales were insipid beyond belief. I've been in a lot of restaurants and I've worked in restaurants as well serving food and doing banquets. I wasn't expecting the royal treatment that the Ritz Carlton would give their guests but at least basic guest service and decent food, this place has neither one. I see the typical wannabe restaurant entrepreneur who wants to get rich but has no passion for cooking or even basic seasoning skills in this restaurant owner. I've been in many Salvadorian and Mexican restaurants and eight out of ten have fallen in this pitfall. If you just wanna make money and have no passion for cooking stay away from the restaurant and hospitality industry.

I really enjoy coming here for pupusas or soup. Their pupusas are hands down the best I've had in…read morethe Antelope Valley. I always go for the bean and cheese ones. They also have a Tuesday special where pupusas are sold for a dollar and change, which is a great deal. I've also ordered the caldo de res and caldo de pollo, and I usually get coffee with my meals as well. I've read comments about poor customer service, but that has never been my experience. I've always been taken care of right away and my orders come out pretty quickly. The downsides are that the restaurant feels a bit stuffy, and on my last visit there were quite a few flies around, which made eating a challenge. Otherwise, i still highly recommend this place.

Good service with beautiful smile. Pupusa is delicious and sopas de patas is so good.read more

A co-worker gave me a taste of some pupusas a few weeks ago and since then I've been obsessed with finding these tasty morsels in my neighborhood. Thankfully, my co-worker ordered another pupusas for her family and I won't miss this opportunity to grab some. So I did ordered some beef pupusas. Simply the best pupusas around! The beef is full of flavor, lean, and morsely. Each pupusa is served with a little guacamole, pickled cabbage and sour cream. Every bite is full of flavor and a perfect mix of salty, spicy, hot, cold, tangy, and crunchy. Will definitely order again!! read more

I've been to the location in Lancaster and the one in Palmdale, inside the swap meet and in both occasions I was highly disappointed. I ordered a pupusa, not a tortilla, so where was all the stuffing?! The atole de elote was cortado and I just happened to get the empanadas de platano which were filled with harina. So disappointed and will not return ever read more

The pupusas here are amazing!!! And to add to that, the customer service is amazing as well!! I have ordered other things from the menu and they were amazing! Everyone was polite and funny. I have been coming here for years now and will continue to do so. I have never had pupusas like theirs! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

I've def had better pupusas . Im not Salvadoran but I know what good pupusas are. These are so tiny for $1.75. I would pay 99 cents max for them. Its a lil dirty in there aswell. And they have a bunch of ghetto signs up. The tamales had no filling what so ever. We have plates full of just masa from them. read more

Just don't eat here!…read more We originally wanted to go to the Peruvian place around the corner but they had a "B" health grade so we passed on that. There was a couple tables seated inside this resident so we said "why not, let La try something new". First off they don't have a restroom or it wasn't operational or the Linda at the counter didn't feel like being helpful. We just wanted to wash our hands prior to eating. We ordered the pupusas special on their menu which is 2 pupusas for like $5.69 or something close to that, and one additional cheese and jalapeno one. When she brought the condiments to our table she spilled them which was no biggie. I offed to just wipe it myself. Our food came and we got 4 pupusas. No big deal we weren't gunna complain. Food was below subpar, no flavor and the masa had an off putting smell. As far as the food goes I would NEVER come back here, now would I recommend this place. I wanted to put the tomato based sauce on my pupusas but it was crusty and and when I opened it there was mold growing in the lid. Unfortunately I didn't see this till after we left. We went to pay our bill as she assumed and up charged us for bigger pupusas than what I had pointed to on the menu. When I asked her about it, she said that she assumed that's what we wanted. I let her know that I wanted what we had pointed at in the menu. When I asked her to refund us the difference she said she couldn't because the manager wasn't there and if I wanted to come back. All of this with a very entitled attitude. If there were zero stars, I would rate them that. Incredibly unhappy with my experience here and I'm shocked they're still in business.

They also have some great specials that make it an even better value. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and we always leave satisfied. We'll definitely keep coming back!

A lot of moist filling so you don't end up eating a bunch of masa. The masa is good enough to eat by itself. A dozen is about $32 plus tax, you can mix different flavors.
